“This is an absolute masterclass of true crime podcasting. This gripping, enigmatic, tragic case is sensitively, beautifully told and thoroughly investigated - with excellent sound and music production, too. Totally mesmeric.”

“I keep listening to true crime hoping I’ll catch a good one. Maybe 1 out of 2 dozen is worth it. But this one, it’s the best. Even though there’s no real answer once you start you are hooked. No answer is usually what persuades me to stop. How many times can you listen to the latest (Latest?)...”Read full review »

“This was my first ever venture into podcast land, and that turned out to be extremely fortuitous!
I couldn’t sleep, I was looking for something I could follow that didn’t require me staring at a screen and thought this sounded interesting. Laying in the dark, the echoes of a woman’s voice bounced...”Read full review »

“An intriguing story, which is carefully and methodically investigated, while never becoming prurient. Added to that, the beautiful sound design and haunting music, which really conjures up the dark, forbidding Nordic landscape this is an all-round winner and I recommend listening on headphones.”

“We mostly enjoyed this podcast but the pacing was a bit too slow and repetitive. Most annoying was the use of, at times, music much louder than the rest of the episode, and poor clarity on some of the dialogue due to so much ambient noise (real and added in). The story itself is good but could...”Read full review »

“Such a fascinating case, slowly and grippingly laid before the audience‘s ears. Inexplicably, outside of Norway the case of the Isdal Woman seems to be quite unknown. So many curious details, but somehow, every time it seems to all make sense, there‘s that one puzzle piece that doesn’t fit....”Read full review »

“Recording conversations outside with ambient sound does two unfortunate things: makes the conversation harder to understand (especially when listening to thick Norwegian accents) and draws one's attention away from the content, which is a genuinely fascinating mystery. On top of that, the...”Read full review »

“Amazing and very creepy, music does tend to add to it a lot. It makes you really hope that one day we will figure out the identity of the woman from the popularity of this podcast.

However, as a German I gotta say that there are some questionable false information about German customs. For example, it is complete bs that the German health...”Read full review »

Interviews with people that can recall every detail of random conversations in 1970 is not very credible. At the end there isn’t anything very revealing.”
